1
(Originally performed by Momus: The Guitar Lesson)
2
The pupil is twelve, attractive withdrawn
3
In a midnight blue school uniform
4
Lips just a little too full for her face
5
Distant eyes full of space
6
In her posture no trace of coquette
7
No defiance
8
She fingers the frets looking forlorn
9
Crossing her legs where her tights have been torn
10
Starts as her mother comes into the room
11
And the afternoon grows still
12
And her mother feels a chill
13
Shivers and buttons her coat
14
I gently correct the curve of her back
15
And open her book in the now empty flat
16
At the classical piece I've had her prepare
17
And her arms are bare as she plays
18
And I draw back behind her ear
19
A few strands of hair gone astray
20
She shows me her bracelet, the lesson is done
21
I turn it around between finger and thum
22
We sit face to face and it seems to me that
23
Her face is the face of a cat
24
And touching the place where her breasts will be
25
I press my hand flat
26
She comes into my lap, I turn her around
27
Her hands clasp my neck and her feet skim the ground
28
Her skirt travels up under my palm
29
But the pupil sits looking so calm
30
As if listening to the distant sound of a burglar alarm.
31
What happened next it's hard to recall
32
The guitar lesson left no traces at all
33
Now from afar it seems to resemble
34
A strange composition in oil
35
Of a man, a guitar and an innocent little girl
Steven Wilson - Pariah ft. Ninet Tayeb
